Bump Charge battery - Thunderbolt General

Coming from a DInc, i know there was an issue where the battery would never 100% charge and after liek 5 minutes off the charger it used to drop 5% or something like that.
Has anyone tried the bump charging their TB? I am going to try it now and report results after some testing.
If anyone else has any input, fire away

Its not an "issue" its a kernel mod by HTC to prevent your from ruining your battery
And yes its present

ahhh ok, was not aware of that. Thanks. Do we"advise" against it, or fight the machine

Some ppl advise it haha some fight it
I'd say give it a month at most before we have the modded kernel

No Bump charging on the TB, that's the first thing I checked since I came from a Dinc.

I really believe the battery display is an os issue. That's why I'm waiting to root.

I was having the same issue with my battery meter sticking. The same time this happens, my Setcpu app also was sticking and would full throttle the cpu. Im running the VirusRom right now, but have experienced this problem on a few of the other Roms also. My usual fix was just wipe everything and go with new install. It started happening again last night and I followed some posters advice to let the battery totally drain and then shutoff. I then recharged to full and everything seems to be fine again.
The first time it ever started happening was right after I had wiped the battery cache and rebooted. Ive stopped doing that now, but it still happens. I notice now that I usuallly experience this after a series of reboots. Not sure whats up, but draining the battery to zero helped out last night. We'll see in a day or two if it starts happening again.

Im actually done with ROMs until CM7 is ready. Im just going with a base rooted system and Ill use a custom kernel. Kernel is 99% of the improvement anyway.
Draining works for a day or so, then it does the same thing. I'm stock and it does it. It also does it with the stock battery. Hope they get it fixed with an update.

Mine actually just stopped working... was working for a week or so and today its just stuck on the same number until i reboot. Pretty annoying.
Bump - anyone find a solution to this? I tried running my extended battery to 0% last night and fully charging it... guess ill see if its fixed today. Pulling it off the charger, it already dropped to 95% lol...

That's because of how it charges not foot into details but that will always happen up to a 10% drop.

Right but my problem was/is the meter never changing. I think I fixed it by completely draining the battery and charging to full. Maybe the phone didnt know how much juice it had because of the different size battery.
yeah i changed to the stock battery last night and it would read fine but i really need this extended

Infuse temperature issues?

I'm trying to figure out if this is a normail issue with all these phones or if I received a defective unit. If I use my infuse for no more than 5 minutes on the charger the battery gets really hot and is at 49° right now up from 30°ish. Same thing with using the HDMI addapter. Used it twice to watch Simpson's for an hour the phone was scalding hot at 57° after about an hour. I've had other android devices and none came as close to this. Is there a risk here? Anyone else have this problem?

I noticed that when its plugged in and use it at the same time it gets hot. Never really checked the temperature.
but when its unplugged not once has it gotten hot.

[Q] Battery charging only up to 91%

I recently noticed that battery charges up to 91%. It doesn't seem to charge beyond that. Do I have to call Samsung and ask for a replacement or is there a fix?
No the battery is made to do this to protect itself. It'll fluctuate between 91 and 95 or so, it'll never hit one hundred

it's really nothing to worry about, it's part of the phone.
If it really bothers you, you can recalibrate the battery.
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...asy-way-with-battery-calibration-for-android/
or google if you'd like to do it manually
I figured out. It was the Belkin charger that was causing problem.
With default Samsung charger, my Nexus S charges to 97%...
Any chance to recalibrate without ROOT?

Phone shutting off when using camera flash

Hey guys, long time follower if these forums. I have an unlocked inspire that keeps shutting the phone off everytime the flash is used on the camera. Has anyone else experienced this, if so is there any sort of fix for this?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Probably a bad battery. The flash LEDs use a ton of current. If you've got a weak cell, it might be manifesting itself during high current draw, but seem otherwise OK. How's battery life overall?
My wife's phone's battery had a similar issue, but hers would just die when the level got down to about 75% indicated. Got a $12 ebay replacement (genuine HTC) and fixed it right up.
Well it is actually my girlfriends. She actually has no other issue with it other than that. I don't think the battery life is that bad to be honest. I think ill go with the replacement battery and see how that works out. I appreciate the help man.

T959V shutting down randomly...

Seems like my phone shuts off every time I turn off the screen. Doesn't shut down when plugged in or when I'm using the phone... I'm using Domination ROM 100% supercharged. Any input on the cause would be greatly appreciated! I have a log cat but I don't seem to see a attachment button!!

I recently had an issue like this. My phone would randomly shut down. I found it persisted across ROMs so I knew it wasn't that. It ended up being my battery. Bought one off of Amazon and it has been like new ever since.
So my answer .. check the battery if you can. I was lucky enough to know some one with the same phone and was able to swap batteries for a bit to confirm it.
Take the battery and place it on something flat. If it spins easily (swollen). That's a good sign that it is on the way out.
Yeah... the battery seems a tad swollen! Thank you!!

Even the best batteries can go bad. I've even seen the iPhone split apart from a bad battery swelling up inside.
I've been using an Andida(?) 2300 mAh battery in my GS4G without issue. My HTC G1 has pretty much only been used with random eBay batteries (as the original HTC battery swelled up and stopped working years ago).
I've had some cheap batteries last a long time, and I've had OEM batteries crap out on me.
It's all kinda random.
So... About six and a half hours ago decide to check out that Xylon Ultimatum ROM (still haven't bought a new battery) was runnin P.A.C. All In One, and my phone has not shut off once. over 6 hours now! Could that have been a ROM issue? i thought for sure it was battery cause i been using that P.A.C. ROM for awhile now. and it just started this shutting off thing. i havn't seen anyone post anything with this issue running PAC All In One.
I'm thinking my battery is all good! It's been over 24 hours now and the battery is holding a great charge! Could the pac rom have that issue?
i messed with my voltages with SETCPU app the same way i did with the PAC ROM, and my phone shut off the first time i shut off screen! i subtracted 25 to 50 on all MHz levels. i changed them back and everything seems proper! could this be the cause of my shut down issue???
Thank you!!
